In this paper, we study operator-theoretic properties (boundedness and compactness) of Hankel operators on the Fock-sobolev spaces $ \mathscr{F}^{p,m} $ in terms of $ \mathcal{BMO}_r^p $ and $ \mathcal{VMO}_r^p $ spaces, respectively, for a…

In 1998 G. Valent made conjectures about the order and type of certain indeterminate Stieltjes moment problems associated with birth and death processes having polynomial birth and death rates of degree p\ge 3. Romanov recently proved that…

When the classical Hamburger moment problem has solutions, it has either exactly one solution or infinitely many solutions. Correspondingly, the moment problem is said to be either determinate or indeterminate. In terms of Jacobi operators,…

We consider convex trace functions $\Phi_{p,q,s} = Trace[ (A^{q/2}B^p A^{q/2})^s]$ where $A$ and $B$ are positive $n\times n$ matrices and ask when these functions are convex or concave. We also consider operator convexity/concavity of…

A famous question of Halmos asks whether every operator on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is a norm limit of reducible operators. In [30], Voiculescu gave this problem an affirmative answer by his remarkable non-commutative…

A sequence of operators $T_n$ from a Hilbert space ${\mathfrak H}$ to Hilbert spaces ${\mathfrak K}_n$ which is nondecreasing in the sense of contractive domination is shown to have a limit which is still a linear operator $T$ from…

We consider the decidability of state-to-state reachability in linear time-invariant control systems over continuous time. We analyse this problem with respect to the allowable control sets, which are assumed to be the image under a linear…

We prove that the set of all complex symmetric operators on a separable, infinite-dimensional Hilbert space is not norm closed.

The goal of this paper is to construct a nonlinear Fourier transformation on the space of symbols of compact Hankel operators on the circle. This transformation allows to solve a general inverse spectral problem involving singular values of…

In this paper, we obtain sharp bounds for the third Hankel determinants of the coefficients of the inverse of bounded turning functions. Thus answering a negatively to a conjecture recently posed regarding these functions. Additionally, we…

The property of linear discrete-time time-invariant system operators mapping inputs with at most $k-1$ sign changes to outputs with at most $k-1$ sign changes is investigated. We show that this property is tractable via the notion of…

A Hankel operator $\Gamma$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R}_+)$ is an integral operator with the integral kernel of the form $h(t+s)$, where $h$ is known as the kernel function. It is known that $\Gamma$ is positive semi-definite if and only if $h$ is…

We consider iterated function systems (finite or countable), together with linear and continuous operators on Hilbert spaces, which enable us to construct Markov-type operators. Under suitable conditions, these Markov-type operators have…

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a complex Hilbert space and let $\big\{A_{n}\big\}_{n\geq 1}$ be a sequence of bounded linear operators on $\mathcal{H}$. Then a bounded operator $B$ on a Hilbert space $\mathcal{K} \supseteq \mathcal{H}$ is said to be…

Well known results related to the compactness of Hankel operators of one complex variable are extended to little Hankel operators of two complex variables. Critical to these considerations is the result of Ferguson and Lacey characterizing…

We study operator log-convex functions on $(0,\infty)$, and prove that a continuous nonnegative function on $(0,\infty)$ is operator log-convex if and only if it is operator monotone decreasing. Several equivalent conditions related to…

We resolve some questions posed by Handelman in 1996 concerning log convex integrable functions. In particular, we give a negative answer to a question he posed concerning the integrability of $h^2(x)/h(2x)$ when $h$ is integrable and log…

We first show that a continuous function f is nonnegative on a closed set $K\subseteq R^n$ if and only if (countably many) moment matrices of some signed measure $d\nu =fd\mu$ with support equal to K, are all positive semidefinite (if $K$…

We consider the Hamburger, Stieltjes and Hausdorff moment problems, that are problems of the construction of a Borel measure supported on a real line, on a half-line or on an interval $(0,1)$, from a prescribed set of moments. We propose a…

Hankel tensors arise from applications such as signal processing. In this paper, we make an initial study on Hankel tensors. For each Hankel tensor, we associate it with a Hankel matrix and a higher order two-dimensional symmetric tensor,…
